Sports Leaders Inspired!

Our Year 5 sports leaders went to an educational event, which was arranged by Sheffield United Community Foundation on Wednesday this week at Bramall Lane as part of the Premier League Primary Stars.The children took part in various activities during the day based around football, from changing the football rules, drawing their own referee to picking a football team of superheroes.They also had a guided tour of the ground, which they found very interesting.The highlight of the day was meeting Dan Freedman, who now writes football based stories for kids focusing on the life and times of Jamie Johnson, a 13-year-old following his dreams of playing professional football. Dan was a press journalist for England in his previous role and was able to recount his journey and how determination has helped him in his career.Dan’s personal story of resilience and drive to fulfil his dreams motivated our children and they came back to school very inspired with a signed book by the author.
